30 January 2008
Morgan Est is leading provider of infrastructure
services. The business, which specialises in the design and
delivery of complex engineering projects, provides specialist
tunnelling, civil engineering and mechanical and electrical
services to the defence, water, utilities, transport and rail
sectors. It is part of the top 10 UK construction and
regeneration group Morgan Sindall plc.
Recently, Morgan Est has invested in a number of Sennebogen
lattice boom crawler cranes supplied by E H Hassell who is the
UK distributor for Sennebogen. Five cranes in total have been
supplied which include 1 x 650HD, 2 x 680HD and 2 x 6100HD. The
latter being the very first 6100HD construction cranes supplied
in the UK!
The 6100HD is powered by a Caterpillar C15 ACERT 354Kw engine
and is mounted on a hydraulically extendable undercarriage. With
a main boom of 52.3 metres and an auxiliary jib for loads up to
12 tons this machine is fitted with a 36 ton rear counter
weight, a 15 ton car body counterweight and 2 x 16 KN winches.
The 650HD series C machine is the latest series introduced by
Sennebogen approximately 18 months ago. With a nominal 50 tons
capacity and 2 x 12 ton winches this machine features a
hydraulically retractable undercarriage for transportation.
Powered by a Caterpillar C9 engine the machine included an
auxiliary jib for loads up to 12 tons.
Morgan Est also took delivery of 2 x 680HD lattice boom crawler
cranes which feature a hydraulically extendable undercarriage.
With a main boom length of 48.5 metres these machines included
an auxiliary jib for loads up to 12 tons.
All five machines supplied were specified with Wylie safe load
indicator with data logger and slew restrictor and a
hydraulically elevated C270 type, F2000 cabin.
Additionally, Morgan Est specified further equipment which
included camera systems, anti-vandal guard system, additional
lighting and special tunnel light system.
These cranes are now currently working on Morgan Est contracts
throughout the UK and Northern Ireland.
Morgan Est is delighted with their latest acquisitions.
Donald Steele, Morgan Est mechanical plant manager, said: “The
partnership with Morgan Est, E H Hassell and Sennebogen has been
tremendous in developing a product capable of operating across
all Morgan Est divisions, adding increased safety, productivity
and cost effectiveness to our business.”
Morgan Est has also ordered a further seven new cranes, for
delivery in 2008. These include 2 x 680HD and 3 x 650HD lattice
boom crawler cranes, and also 2 x 683HD telescopic crawler
cranes.
